Wow, thanks for the link. Lots more things to try.

I’m guessing wordpress is a directory name, so see if you could rename that. You’ll probably also need to go into Settings > General in WordPress admin and change the WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL).

That may break your images and uploads though, I’m not sure.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking re: workflow. Have you tried looking at the User Roles plugin? It allows you to create user roles and be very specific as to what users can do: add a page, edit a page, delete a page, etc.

You might take a look as see if you can create a “role” or update a current role (author, contributor) and allow them to edit pages but not publish the changes, only save.

If you want users to be able to add pages and have them wait for approval in a queue, you could make all users contributors or try the TDO Mini Forms plugin.

If you want to get rid of the sidebar on some pages you’ll need to make another page type.

I have one I call “blank” and it doesn’t have a sidebar. Just the header, content, and then the footer.

I copied the default “page” template in wordpress, gave it a new name (blank.php) and then added this to the top of the file

<?php
/*
Template Name: blank
*/
?>

Look in there for something about sidebar. In my file it said:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Delete that line.

Save it. Upload it back to your theme.

Then when you go into the WordPress admin to Pages > edit select your page. Look for Page Template. There should be a dropdown. You want to select blank. Save and view your page.

Hope that helps.

Have you tried setting the small logo as a background for a tag that surrounds the text/slogan? Align it to top ( background: url() top center no-repeat;) and see if that works. It looks like perhaps you could set the background on h1 #name-text.

Does that make any sense? I’m not the best at this sort of thing. I usually just keep trying stuff until it works the way I want. I know, very scientific. If it were me, I’d incorporate the site title and slogan into the header image and make it 100%.

I think you’ll have to change the bullet color in your style.css file. See if this link helps: https://www.htmlforums.com/html-xhtml/t-change-color-of-a-bullet–14542.html

I’m not sure about the second issue, can’t get your URL to resolve.

change your URL… can you be more specific? Do you want it to be located at https://www.myfabulouswebsite.com? or something like that?

But what plugin is it related to? WordPress admin side is unusable for me. It times out. Takes at least a minute to bring up a new screen. And almost every time I click something in the admin area, I’m forced to login again.

In a desperate attempt to fix the problem I started deactivating plugins that I’d installed most recently or that I could live without. Now I’m getting this error and a few others.

Very frustrating.

Wish I did. Have the same problem.

I found this one. Haven’t tried it out yet, but it looks like it would do what you (and I) want. Cheers.

I need to do the same thing. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to do it. ?? Any luck finding something that works?

I’m having the same problem as Clew. For the past 7 months my wordpress has run flawlessly. Occasionally it slows down if someone else on the server is hogging it but this morning I started getting “database connection error” at least 10 times an hour. If you refresh the page once, sometimes twice, everything comes back up and keeps on going. I get both the back end (admin) error and the front ender user error.

I have changed nothing in my config. I upgraded to 2.3.2 last month. Everything was going great.

Any clues as to what to tell my stupid hosting company so they can help me fix the problem? They simply see that the database is running. It’s running, but not consistantly. I’ve been tracking each error since 1o’clock.

I’m a designer, not a coder. But my users are experiencing these errors today and I’m starting to get irritated about it.

My issue is similar. No categories after upgrade to 2.3.2. All posts are now listed as “uncategorized.” I can’t add them under Manage > Categories. I get this error: Something strange happened. Try refreshing the page.

When I refresh the page, nothing happens.

When I try to add a category from the Post page, it immediately shows up, but if I try to add another, it replaces the first one with the new one.

I haven’t looked at the database yet to see if the categories are still in there. I assume they are.

I just find it strange considering that I’ve used the exact same version, same plugins, everything to upgrade 5 other wordpress blogs this past week and none of them had this problem.

There’s a plugin that I downloaded that should do what you’re interested in. It’s called Post Template (there’s also a Page Template). Basically you have a post that you create that includes the “drivers license” table with space for the interview above. Then you just save that as a template. When you go to add a new interview, you’ll go to Manage > Post Template and then fill in the interview and the driver’s license info and save as usual.

Hope that helps!

I think I’ve found something that might work: https://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PostTeaser

Thanks LiverpoolLad, but that’s not really what I’m looking for. I run a site sort of like digg, but for the Book Industry. And I have people posting stories themselves. If I tell them to use < more > after 5 sentences, only 50% are actually going to do it. That’s why I’m thinking that WordPress needs to do that for me. So that it’s always done and it’s always at the same spot. Basically it should just truncate at x many characters when displaying to the home/front page. Does that make sense? Anyone know if there’s a plugin for this?
